Is it safe to coat my cooking pans with?

Well it says it is 99.9% pure. I am not sure if your stove top gets above 450 but that would take it back off since it melts at 449.

Absolutely. I have a gas stove and the pans are wonderful. Cook on medium to low heat . . . and they keep things warm for so long after so you don't have to keep warming things back up. If you do cook using too high heat and they stick a bit, just a bit of hot water and a drop of dishwashing detergent, soak for a few minutes, and they come sparkling clean.

Sadly no. It will mess up your finish. Immediately soak in warm soapy water as soon as you are done cooking and it cleans up very easy. Use Bar Keepers Friend to keep it shiny and DO NOT use cooking spray on these pans. It will stick to the pans and you can hardly scrub it off. The spray coats the pans all over and most of the spray cooks onto the outside of the pan. I hope this helps!!

Because these pans are porcelain, they blister with high heat.. Also glass stove tops are very sensitive, so as long as you use moderate heat it's OK to use, adult supervision for sure.

No that will damage the non stick coating. ONLY USE RUBBER, PLASTIC OR WOOD

I don't think they are. I had wash mine. Also, if you use any kind of pam or cooking spray in them, even once, the non-sick goes away and they become difficult to wash with out scratching. They are okay pans. If you have time to take care of them right they will work fine.

No it is not safe, the bottom of each pan has concentric circle edges (which will scratch your glass top). I wish they had shown a bottom picture of these pans.

No, I just spray it with a little cooking spray and have had no problems at all! I live these pans!

I'm not sure, I've just got them in January. But I will use steel wool to clean them on occasion of stuck on food without worry of damage. I noticed i need to cook at lower temp for some foods. So far i really like the set.

The pans and handles are all stainless so they should be fine, but i'm not sure about the non-stick coating temperature limits. I would call/e-mail/google cuisiinart. We have all cuisinart pans and they are excellent++. If you don't need the non-stick coating you could use their un-coated versions. Hope this helps. Regards, Peter

Since it doesn't have non-stick coatings all should be safe. I use all three without any scratching. Quick tip for cleaning; if you get baked on grease, etc, just pour a cup or two of water in the pan and heat to just about a boil and use a utensil to loosen up the baked on mess. Hope that helps! I love this pan! I now have three in different sizes.

Yes, absolutely. The key is to let the pan cool before washing or any pan may warp causing less than optimal heat distribution.

I have read that you shouldn't put pans with non-stick surfaces in the oven. On the other hand, considering that I use this on gas fired burners the localized temperatures easily reach oven temperatures. It is made of heavy aluminum. I personally wouldn't have a problem putting mine in the oven to finish something off. However, it does not say "oven safe" on it anywhere.

Any "heat safe" brush is most likely going to damage you hot pan so just wait until the pan cools down and this brush would be just fine.

Were you using non-stick spray on the pan? This left a hard sticky residue on my ceramic non-stick pans, so could leave it on these.

If you mean to coat something to cook food on, I would certainly not recommend that. This paint spays better than any spray paint I have used but I am sure that VHT would not recommend contact with food, especially at high temperature. I would not recommend using any paint to cook food on.
